00:00The term Chicano, when that word came out, man, it just like, it just like it went into
00:06your soul.
00:07You know, this is who I am.
00:10You know, I am different.
00:11We were different.
00:13I don't care what we did, we were different.
00:17If we dressed, we did it differently.
00:19If we had bikes, our bikes were different.
00:22Our cars, we did it different.
00:24You know, that's just who we were, because we were different.
00:31To me, Holmes, it's like, if you're, if you don't know that you're Chicano, then you're
00:34not.
00:35You dig what I'm saying?
00:38It's like, if you, if you don't, you know, if you're asking yourself that question, maybe
00:43try softball or whatever, I don't know.
00:49It's art, it's philosophy, it's religion.
00:54They are not identifying as Hispanic, right?
00:59Not identifying as Latino.
01:02They're identifying as Chicano, as a political statement to say, no, we're not with that
01:09European vibe, right?
01:11We're going to go back to our indigenous, where we come from here on this continent.
01:21I just want to say something on behalf of the people that do wear them type of clothes.
01:25Don't make no difference what you wear in this country.
01:29You're just judging a person right then and there.
01:31There's people behind these clothes that have a good heart.
01:34One bad apple can't spoil the whole bunch.
